Igualada Rigat 3-5 Barça: History makers

Tough game at Les Comes ends in celebrations of a joint OK Liga record of 23 wins on the trot

What a night in Igualada! It’s never an easy place to go, but Barça not only took the three points but assured top spot in the regular season (and hence home court advantage throughout the playoffs) and equalled the club’s own OK Liga record of 23 wins in a row, and in their next game can go one better than the amazing run in 1983-84.

Barça dominated the first half to lead 3-0 at the break, but the home side battled back to 3-2 and then 4-3 to set up a nervy climax before Pablo Álvarez settled things for good with just five seconds on the clock.

Next up for Barça is Vic at the Palau, starting at 8.00pm CET, where a new all-time record could be set!
